Preliminary socio-economic baseline (especially demography and natural resource dependence); see 5.2.2 above (NCF-ISLT-Steering Committee; also consult others including WII) 5.2.4. Experiments in pasture development, including devising ways of enhancing moisture retention, alpine weed control (including local biological control), removal/ control of exotics (ICIMOD) 5.2.5.
